"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of a villain who can stay active for so long; he really does have some tricks up his sleeve," Fang Yuan shook his head.
He had been hiding nearby watching the show when Batman arrived, witnessing the entire process of Batman being captured by the Joker.
Clearly, the Joker had devised a plan from the very beginning and set the stage in advance.
Capture the Mayor of Gotham City; if Batman came, capture Batman; if Batman didn't come, impersonate the mayor to continue messing with Batman.
However, Fang Yuan didn't plan to interfere; he just opened a portal to the Himalayas.
The family matters of Batman and the Joker should be handled by themselves.
On this side, the Joker caught the Grapple Gun thrown by his subordinate and skillfully operated it to reach the steel beam as well.
Having fought the Bat Family so many times, he was already very familiar with the Bat Boys' equipment.
The Joker took out a syringe and intended to inject it into the neck of the incapacitated Batman.
"Eh? Why doesn't this Batman have a neck?"
He found it strange, and after poking around a bit, he realized that this Batman's neck area was entirely covered in armor.
"Hahaha, with this, the neck can't move at all!"
"What a ridiculous Batman!"
The Joker chuckled a few times, then pulled off Batman's glove and injected him there.
He didn't touch Batman's helmet. Although the criminals present were very curious about Batman's true identity, they were all stopped by the Joker.
"These idiots, what's so good about knowing Batman's true identity? It's Batman himself who's fun!" he muttered.
But he also noticed something slightly off—there seemed to be quite a few wrinkles on Batman's palm.
However, the Joker didn't care; in any case, the one he caught was definitely Batman.
Whether it was a Batman impersonated by Robin or a Batman subbing in for the butler Alfred, none of them had as much of a 'Bat-scent' as the one in his hands!
He immediately signaled his subordinates to hang Batman up with chains and even specifically set up a hoisting device.
The Joker took out a remote and pressed it; Batman fell straight down from a height, then the Joker pressed it again, and Batman immediately stopped descending and returned to the top.
"So much fun!" The Joker chuckled with delight.
He played with it back and forth several times when suddenly another shout came from nearby—
"Father!"
"Father?"
The Joker instantly realized something was wrong and nimbly tossed the remote to a nearby Joker Gang member.
Then, with his hands behind his head, he began to whistle as if nothing had happened.
"Boom!"
The next second, that Joker Gang member was pinned to the ground by a dark shadow falling from the sky—it was actually another Batman.
Upon seeing this Batman, the Joker's expression suddenly froze, followed by endless joy.
"It's you!"
He recognized him at a glance; this was the Batman he shared a love-hate relationship with!
But the only response Bruce gave him was a knee strike.
"Pfft!" The Joker immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood.
From that blow just now, he estimated that several ribs were broken, along with a bunch of internal injuries.
Only then did the Joker remember that this Batman kills.
But how could a Batman who kills be so similar in temperament to the one he was familiar with?
Bruce remained silent, quickly dislocating the Joker's arm and leg joints so he couldn't move freely, before picking up the remote to rescue Thomas.
"Is it you?" The Joker's mouth could still move, and he asked impatiently.
"Crack!"
Bruce dislocated his jaw as well, making it so the Joker couldn't even speak.
"Why didn't you stop it?" He finally spoke, but not to the Joker.
"It's a reminder, so he doesn't suffer again next time."
Fang Yuan took out a Healing Potion and injected it into Thomas, who quickly recovered.
"After all, he's been retired for so long and still has to help you patrol the night. How can he manage without staying alert?"
Bruce immediately fell silent. When Fang Yuan threw the blame back at him, he actually had no excuse.
However, their conversation made the Joker, lying on the ground, very unhappy, as were the Joker Gang members on the scene.
They howled and rushed forward, some even picking up rifles and spraying the area, completely disregarding their charging companions.
As a result, the Batmen were unharmed due to their Bat-capes, but the Joker Gang members suffered many casualties.
Bruce and Thomas each chose a direction and jumped down, beginning to deal with the small-fry. Fang Yuan still didn't move, merely tossing back down the Joker Gang members who rushed up.
Only then did Fang Yuan squat down with interest, observing this figure who had topped the American comic villain rankings for years.
"Why aren't you talking? Is it natural?" Fang Yuan asked teasingly.
The Joker just stared at him fiercely; he had completely different attitudes toward Batman and other superheroes.
But Fang Yuan's next move broke his preconceived notions of superheroes.
Fang Yuan held the Joker's jaw, which Batman had dislocated, and moved it up and down while providing a voiceover: "Batman is ignoring me, I'm so sad I don't want to talk, boohoo!"
Facing Fang Yuan's direct mockery, the Joker's gaze was like blades, seemingly wanting to cut Fang Yuan into a thousand pieces.
Fang Yuan wasn't afraid at all; instead, he popped the Joker's jaw back into place.
"Who are you?"
The Joker asked immediately.
"Me?" Fang Yuan smiled slightly and said on purpose, "I'm Batman's best friend!"
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the look the Joker gave Fang Yuan was suddenly filled with endless malice.
"Pfft!"
After a while, the Joker suddenly burst into loud laughter.
"Hahaha, you really are different from other superheroes."
"And thanks, hahaha, you guys really do know me!" The Joker had clearly figured it out. "This is the Batman I'm familiar with, hahaha!"
The Joker was very happy; although he had changed Worlds, he had found a Bat Boy to play with again.
"But Batman clearly doesn't want to deal with you." Fang Yuan immediately stabbed him with words.
"Uh... hurgh."
The Joker's smile froze on the spot.
Because he had also noticed that usually when Batman encountered him, he would focus most of his attention on him, but today's Batman clearly wasn't doing that.
As everyone knows, a smile doesn't disappear; it only transfers to Fang Yuan's face.
"Eh? Why aren't you smiling anymore?" Fang Yuan asked with a chuckle.
The Joker twitched the corner of his mouth, no longer wanting to pay attention to Fang Yuan.
He planned to think about how to escape; he had to get back to his own World.
The Bat Boy in this World wasn't fun.
Seeing the Joker's calm appearance, Fang Yuan suddenly sighed, "It seems smiling has become a tactic for you. You're only most relaxed when you're not smiling."
The Joker snapped his head up; Fang Yuan's words just now were truly heart-piercing.
The Joker wanted to nonchalantly laugh and refute Fang Yuan's words, but then he realized it wasn't that easy.
"Tch..." He snorted coldly. "What a failed traversal."
